Matlab 2011a unsupported now...

[lrq3000]

Hey there,

This is a great application, thank you for making and sharing it!

I used to use it with Matlab 2011a, but now it's uncompatible because of the following error:

Undefined function or method 'gobjects' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Error in ==> <a href="matlab: opentoline('C:\matlab_tools\bspmview\supportfiles\pgrid.m',65,0)">pgrid at 65</a>
phandle     = gobjects(npanel, 1);

Error in ==> <a href="matlab: opentoline('C:\matlab_tools\bspmview\bspmview.m',577,0)">bspmview>put_upperpane at 577</a>
    [phandle, pidx] = pgrid(nrow, 1, ...

    put_upperpane;

    S = put_figure(ol, ul); shg;

Indeed, gobjects was introduced in MATLAB 2013.

The last version of bspmview I used which was compatible with MATLAB 2011 was bspmview-829fd7d. Maybe you should make a release with this commit for people with an old MATLAB version (like me)?

PS: I'm not asking to maintain the compatibility with the old MATLAB, but just to release a commit of bspmview when it was still compatible, I know my collegues (who are all using the same version of MATLAB as me) would find it useful...

Oops - thanks for the heads up about this. Let me look into the error to see if there's an easy solution for the current version. Otherwise, I'll put up a release with that old commit.

Looks like the call to gobjects that is causing the error is unnecessary. In the file pgrid.m which is located in the supportfiles/ subdirectory, comment out the line where gobjects is called (should be around line 66). The result should look like this:

npanel          = size(hpos, 1);
% phandle     = gobjects(npanel, 1);

Save the file then try bspmview again. Since I don't have an older version of MATLAB to test this on, would you mind trying this out and letting me know how it works? I want to make sure it works before creating a new release. Let me know, thanks.

Ok I commented out the gobjects line, then I got another error:

??? Error using ==> vertcat
CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.

Error in ==> bspmview>put_upperpane at 599
        uihandles = [uihandles; chandle];

Error in ==> bspmview>put_figure at 535
    put_upperpane;

Error in ==> bspmview at 139
    S = put_figure(ol, ul); shg;

And another similar error at line 664. Both were fixed by transposing chandle. And it works now!

To summarize my changes:

• supportfiles/pgrid.m comment line line 66: % phandle = gobjects(npanel, 1);
• bspmview.m lines 599 & 664: uihandles = [uihandles; chandle'];

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for looking into this! Latest commit (and release) should now work pre MATLAB 2014. Just a heads up, instead of transposing chandle in the main function, I wound up just reverting the relevant line of pgrid.m to preallocate the phandle array using the old method, i.e.,

phandle = zeros(npanel, 1);
